[clairebehun]

brilliant video

[staranjela]

This is a great video

[zevon1964]

Susskind is great!

[bribribri56]

This is a great video

You cannot honor someone by underestimating others. Landau is Landau, not "some Russian physicist" and his contributions to science are as important as Feynman's. Also, in terms of simplicity and success, Landau's theory of liquid helium is ahead of Feynman's complicated method. For those who are inclined to westernize or nationalize science, Einstein and Eddington should be the perfect example.

[Dayumhesgood]

Leonardo is Italian, not French...not looking so smart now are you, Dick? haha

[Zeykieee]

@Dayumhesgood

Leonard is German. Not looking so smart now are you, Dick? haha.

[raketapjotr]

for some reason he reminds me of jan jansen from baldurs gate l0l

[thegafferlives]

Stop saying Dick.

[DIOGYK3D]

Great talk! Respect for Susskind & Feynman! I wish he talked more.

[michellybaby]

such an inspiration!! 

[mike28110]

Wow, such a heartfelt speech by a close friend of feynman!! "I think we should honor Feynman by getting as much bologne out of our own sandwiches as we can" <-Well stated, loved this.

[AsianGuyInJeans]

After hearing more about Feynman's personality, I now know why he's called "DICK"!!!!

[spondulas]

They should have given susskind the extra time to finish his stories. This was the best talk.

[DecioDeCillis]

@10:38 "The Russian Mathematical Physicist" is Landau, not exactly a unknown Russian Mathematical Physicist, Feynman probably wouldn't appreciate

[BER2ERKER]

I love Leonard Susskind, and everyone should read his books, especially The Black Hole War.

[IpodAndrewts]

I'm 15. I hate the government, religion and the system yet I'm thrilled to live in a world in which my parents actually want me to go to collage, and furthermore, will fund it for me. I hope to have a professor like Leonard Susskind.

[kjrunia]

I so much enjoyed this.

[barticasun]

This is awesome.

[DexterHaven49]

What an ego case this guy is! He wasted so much time in the first half talking about himself!! He's a great granddad, a ham, likes to play macho games, yada, yada. Who cares!! Follow E.B, White's first rule of style: "Place yourself in the background." He ran out of time for the good stories, because of his silly vain ego. Shame on you, sir!!! Get the baloney out of your own ego! The first five minutes is a complete waste of time.

[thecalitree]

@DexterHaven49 Excuse the man for taking a whole minute to introduce himself and warm up the crowd.

So shut up.

[DexterHaven49]

@thecalitree No, it took longer than a minute. He knew how long he could speak, but he was too busy drinking from his stupid flask and talking about his big ego. He had every chance to tell his stories in the allotted time, but mismanaged it. So shut up, yourself, if you can't see the simple truth.

[xsmopsis]

@DexterHaven49 Lol, idiot, at 0.54 he already talks about Richard Feynman, and really, you don't seem to be too interested in him as well.

[DexterHaven49]

@xsmopsis LOL, you look silly nit-picking the seconds like that in a pedantic manner, missing the general point. He knew the allotted time for his speech. Did he manage it well? Free of clutter and collateral matters so as to tell his essential stories? No, as Three Dog Night sang, in "The Show Must go On," he "wasted time, wasted, wasted, so much time..." And wasted it on silly vain talk, which makes it a worse sin.

[xsmopsis]

@DexterHaven49 Apearentley you don't understand the way he talks about him. Would you rather hear his birth date facts about his life with no metaphore or humor? Well no since you so immaturishly rejected time what I gave to you (with precision), so i'd have to conclude, that you're just trolling. (BTW i couldn't understand half of your comment, because it's so badly organised).

[DexterHaven49]

@xsmopsis LOL! Look who's talking! You use "immaturishly" when the proper form of the word is "immaturely." I rounded off the time to the nearest half minute, which is reasonable in the context. You didn't "give" anything of any value. You are being even more pedantic now by still splitting hairs not worth splitting and ignoring his obvious irrelevancies. Figures you made a false inference about "trolling" too. You can't seem to make valid points. If you can't "understand," think harder...

[DexterHaven49]

@xsmopsis I just fact-checked your reference to "0:54" and saw it's WRONG, DUMMY!! He doesn't make any substantive statement about Feynman there. After that, as the minute ends he merely mentions his name as a topic of discussion!!! We already knew that, dummy. Except you, I guess.

[xsmopsis]

@DexterHaven49 Who exactly are "we"? I mean none of your comments have any thumbs up. And that's basicly the way he talks about feynman. He's NOT wikipedia, but a rather special human beeing and he is talking about Feynman using himself as a tol for that, so if you don't understand the way he talks, JUST FUCKING GOOGLE IT!

[8644371]

Awesome.

[chakazul]

Feynman is a great guy, and this talk is a great talk, as amazing and funny as himself. Thou I hope he have enough time to finish the last part (What naughty thing Feynman did on the problem of proton structure?)

Thanks Mr. Susskind!

[Kaeralho]

odds are the people that clicked "dislike" just missed the "like" button. or just critters on the internet, like creationists

[NinjaArchitect]

Damn, this guy came to my university recently and the dean had the nerve to ask him to postpone his lecture because of a basketball game.....

[starling100]

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! Probably one of the very best TED talks ever.. thanks Caltech!

[ssa09003]

brilliant.

[DrugsSexRockandRoll]

Great talk.



[andyrooney12]

@endoras0666

Some whore flashes a nipple & it gets a hundred million views but the most brilliant men & women in our world today discussing mind boggling ideas and they're lucky to get 7,500 views. I agree with you completely...this video and every other video from TED on YouTube should have a lot more views.

[jt101010]

@andyrooney12 Who flashed a nipple?! Link?

[acr08807]

@andyrooney12 Richard Feynman's nipple flash videos get plenty of hits.

[andyrooney12]

@acr08807

Let's be honest...that's one of the reasons why people LOVE & RESPECT Richard Feynman. He was a highly intelligent man who worked hard & did a lot for humanity but he never allowed his status to distance him from ordinary people. I honestly believe that if someone works their life to do for people as much as Feynman did, they deserve to enjoy all of the partying and crazy things that Feynman has been reported to have enjoyed :)

[acr08807]

@andyrooney12 I hear you. I love and respect Richard Feynman for his amazing insights, for his deep curiosity, for his ability communicate complicated ideas simply, and for his awesome nipple flash videos. He was the complete package.

[ForeverTrombone]

That smile that the audience members have; that look, all of them knowing that they are all about to learn more about the great Richard Feynman...I wore that smile on my face for the whole 15 minutes of this video.

[RobRoyal06]

One great guy celebrating another. Nice talk.

[un2mensch]

Hmm, a Bieber sandwich

[WastedTourist]

That was quite possibly the greatest opening to any talk on anything ever.

[dylanlawless1]

6 Comments... :(

Anyway, brilliant. every time i'm trying to learn something, i think hmm.. how might Feynman think about this. a brilliant man

[MrFerdinandOo]

Leonardo)))

[Jipzorowns]

And every single one of them said: My mother hahahaha

[nomaed]

That's fascinating. Thank you TED and Caltech, and Susskind and of course Feynman. We really do need to get rid of the baloney.

[miguelarratia]

Thank you Caltech, you give to the rest of the world an opportunity share the fantastic spirit so palpable in these videos, the wonderful atmosphere in the edges of the knowledge

you deserve much of our respect
